Here's an idea that could help, what about trial and error.
Say the first generation of lions tested out certain activities that could improve their chances of surviving, some worked and some didn't, but what if was found within the development of these activities that is was found that the lions could increase their reproduction rate, which would lead to a better chance at survival, it meant that they were to kill other cubs and reproduce with their mother.
Over time this would be passed from generation to generation, where the activity of killing another lions cubs would become naturally to it. Every animal has to adapt to every environment and trial and error is usually the quickest and most successful way of adapting.
Now, how did animals learn about trial and error, maybe by conincidence or just by luck!

I have to agree with what LudvanB is saying because no matter the amount of knowledge and information we find out history, there could be random events that we might not ever find out about. We actually have to be there to no the truth, which also applies to the bible, because we will never know who wrote it, whether the events are real unless we actually witness it for ourselves!!! If evolution is not a science because we don't know everything about it, then can we just say that the bible is fictional because there's no absolute proof of its accurracy.
